| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ooh, it's cool they actually took the journey to London. There's a less sense of mystery but what surprised me is that Richard has a relative? He doesn't look him if you ask me lol |
 |
| Oh great to learn more about Richard and his backstory |
 |
| Warning: long post incoming Huh, this episode actually adapted more than I expected... Episode 9 adapts Case 1, 2 and part of 3 of Volume 4, when I was only expecting 1 and 2 to be adapted for this episode. As expected, plenty of things were cut, so if you want to know more, scroll down :) Okay, explanation for the receipts (Muse Asia didn't explain em, not sure if Crunchy is but anyway): the receipts are in Japanese, specifically from sweets shops in Japanese. You could take it as a coincidence until that last receipt - it's obvious that it's from Richard, just from the voiceover alone. But why the cloak and dagger? Well... wait for next episode~ (Also, since when is the British Museum so empty, this anime isn't realistic) Hmm, I just realised they never stated in the episode, but in the novels this part is actually wintertime (reminder, Seigi and Richard first met in spring). How the heck did Seigi survive wearing a t-shirt at the start of the episode... Or not, since it seems like our buffoon is catching a cold. I thought idiots don't get sick? Looks like Seigi does have more than one functioning brain cell after all! --- I wanted to contrast Seigi's reactions to Tanimoto last ep and Richard this episode. Tanimoto: plans to get married to someone else Seigi: I'm very sad but if she's happy I won't confess to her (and Richard has to prompt him to say something) Richard: disappears without a word Seigi: WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU RICHARD I WILL CHASE YOU DOWN IN ANOTHER COUNTRY EVEN IF I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOU ARE EXACTLY Personally, I thought that his different reactions to both of them were very interesting. He likes Tanimoto, but he gets more worked up over his boss disappearing? Seigi, honey... --- Screenshots for the episode (again, apologies for the Muse Asia watermark): I was gonna make a joke about Richard being a weeaboo, but it turns out Jeffrey is the weeaboo.  (What the hell, animators?) Richard: knows Japanese Richard: has a dog named Taro  ... That's it Richard was actually a weeaboo all along I'm sorry please don't hit me --- And for all of you who want to know novel spoilers, the stuff they cut out from this episode, press that shiny button right there~ --- M E I'm so sad they cut the running joke, it's honestly one of my favorite things from the novels.

| @starlightshine. Thx for providing what was cut out from the anime and providing a link to your ongoing translation of vol. 4 of the novel. I've been keeping tracks of all the novel spoilers on the JR discord, yet you have to scroll through hundreds of comments, which isn't easy for newcomers to catch up on everything. The translations are kinda scattered about across the JR discord, twitter, tumblr, some Google dos; it's hard to keep track xD. I found a link to a Chinese site that has a lot of translations, but you have to rely on Google translate which surprisingly isn't too bad looking? I have no way of knowing how botched Google translates the Chinese text, but it's better than nothing I guess. |

It's really scattered yeah, but gotta do what you gotta do. And yes, google translation was surprisingly good with it actually! I used it to check quality and it's surprisingly readable. Much better than using it with the original Japanese, which just makes no sense. HONESTLY I partially translated vol 4 because Seigi's gay panic was just too hilarious to read AND I had the feeling they would leave the scenes out of the anime... which they did. |
|
| Seigi is gay and in love with Richard When they meet up again, they should just kiss each other on the spot |
 |
| Seigi settled his feelings somewhat thanks to Tanimoto's help, and he decided that he wants to be there for Richard. After all, he can make him a delicious pudding, and royal milk tea, if nothing else. And it turns out Richard's situation is indeed complicated. He has the claim to that diamond, which is worth a big fortune, but he has to marry someone he doesn't love in order to inherit it. Of course he doesn't want it, but his family does, and it seems they don't really care about him at all. I mean, his uncle raised him after his divorced, but not dead? Parents abandoned(?) him, but now they go as far as interfering with his love life in order to have the money. And he feels indebted to his uncle too, which is understandable to be honest, but it doesn't mean that he has to do whatever he says. But I will wait to know them better before forming an opinion. I love that they saw Seigi as Richard's next chosen one and even investigated if they were living together. xD But I hope Seigi isn't in danger because of it. I don't know if the first one accepted the money or not before breaking up, but Seigi would never. Can't wait to see their reunion. |

| With Richard missing and on his way to London, and the former shop taken charge by his mentor, Seigi is at a standstill. But Seigi man...liking Tanimoto and secretly loving Richard are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. In the end of the pursuit, he adores Richard to the max, and finding him is of utmost importance. The gayness is showing immeasurably. The full picture of Richard's backstory is known to Seigi, but not the intricate details that his mentor filled him with. As always, he'd steeled his resolve to find Richard, but taking the place through to London. Meeting his brother Jeffrey (or rather being followed) in London, more cracks on Richard's family life surfaced, linking family hatred to the gemstones encountered. And what the heck, a 118-carat diamond? That's too much of a risk to take, but the consequences are just as ridiculous. Even with all that, those sweet shop receipts in Japanese...is it mere coincidence that this was intentional for Seigi to find Richard, and who helped him with that is still a mystery. Regardless, what an episode. I just wish that Seigi would find Richard fast to elope together. |
 |
| welp the Tanimoto ship has sunk lol. tfw Seigi spent all of last episode preventing her to get married only to confess to her as a friend. Either that or Tanimoto inadvertently friendzoned him with the lacklustre response and hey another marriage. Ain't gonna get fooled for like the 5th time now to know that it's gonna fail |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| It seems dousei-suru is the Japanese word for living together. Dousei also means same-sex, so I thought the brother was referring to a possibility of homosexual love between the male leads. This is so gay that I want it to be completely gay! Seigi bloody flew to another country to meet Richard!! I really wish the characters blinked more. Eye lid movements can make characters feel quite alive. |
| So Seigi traveled to London to find Richard, but instead he runs into his cousin. It seems like Richard is the heir to very complicated family that allows him the potential to inherit a very expensive diamond. |
 |
| Do you think you would flew away just to chase your friend? I think it's something deeper than that. That aside, Seigi looks a bit sick in the end. Will he be okay? |
"All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; only the dose permits something not to be poisonous"  PROJECT-ERASER |
| the cousin looks just like richard..the family dynamics though |
 |
| Inheritance with dealing large amounts of money is always trouble and a big mess! humans are greedy being indeed. hopefully, i wish Richard would pull this off and Seigi stay loyal to him, a true friend without any money blinding antics... 5/5. |
 |
| Some people: Richard x Seigi Other people: Seigi x Tanimoto Me: Richard x Seigi x Tanimoto |
 |
| I agree with Richard's cousing tbh. He should have just married someone and then divorce once the problem was solved. Because of him the whole family is suffering. |
 |
| Quite a lot information on Richard this episode, I really am starting to doubt if Richard and Seigi are going to be a gay couple at the end because the show really keeps switching sides from gay to straight which kind of annoys me |
 |
Reapermask said: because the show really keeps switching sides from gay to straight which kind of annoys me Why do so many people ignore the possibility that Seigi could be bi? |

| Richard must have a lot of information in hand and Seigi is gay but in a more or less of a neutral way. |
